Honor Baby Eliyanah's Memory with a Beautiful Goodbye

Hi, I'm Larissa Gamez and I created this GoFundMe to help raise funds for my goddaughter/niece on my sister & brother in laws behalf.

Eliyanah Laylani Yanez was born on July 2nd, 2025. She was welcomed into this world with so much love and joy. Not only did her parents, Lailah Gamez and Ralphie Yanez, enjoy her beautiful life, but her three sisters and brother did also. Her short time spent here on earth was surrounded with nothing but LOVE!

On August 4th, she was taken to Valley's. Within a few days of being there, her little body suffered a stroke and several seizures. Later on, doctors finally learned the cause of all this was meningitis. It attacked her body so quickly that the doctors couldn't even prevent what her body had already endured. My sister and brother-in-law were informed that with all these health conditions her body faced within a small time frame, it caused a brain bleed. This brain bleed would cause only a small part of her brain to work. Tuesday, August 12th, Eliyanah took her last breath in her mommy's arms.

As a grieving mother and now once again a grieving aunt, I ask if we can come together as a community to help my sister put her last baby, Eliyanah, to rest. To allow my sister to create a beautiful and loving service for her final goodbyes with no financial stress.

My sister laid her first baby to rest 7 years ago, and now she'll be saying see you later to her last baby. Loss is hard and difficult in general, but losing a child? It's a whole different type of pain and anger. I ask if you can share this link, donate, or even send a prayer for the Yanez family. They deserve to put their baby to rest and have their final moments in a beautiful and meaningful memory like her life that was spent here on earth.

Thank you for not only taking your time to read this and feel their pain as parents, but opening your hearts and sharing this link to help raise funds for their baby girl's farewell. So they can grant their final promise to her to go all out to honor her short life that was lived here on earth. To remember her with the light she held in her eyes & the love she touched everyone with.

We love you Eliyanah, we will never understand why things like this happen. But I DO know you are loved down here & up in heaven. I also know you had your cousin & sister waiting right there at those gates to welcome you in. No more suffering, no more pain, just don't forget to visit your parents in their dreams to give them guidance & motivation to continue to live life for your siblings.
